Hi, like most of you out there the IS suffers from 'clonking' noises from the brakes when applying the brakes at low speed or turning the wheel whilst braking. I took the car to lexus aberdeen where the technician knew what the problem straight away. He said they were the clips on the brakes slipping out of position. (You can easily see these clips from the outside, one top and bottom!). He offered me two options, a quick fix but not necessarily a garanteed one was to apply some kind of grease aound the calipers and behind the clips. He offered to do that for the cost of half hour labour (approx. 40 pounds). The other option was to order brand new clips top and bottom for a pair costing about 30 pounds + half an hour labour. Hope that helps!

thanx! B)

I have been using eibach lowered springs on my IS for quite some time but feel I need to go lower. The eibachs lower by 30mm, cobra springs by 40mm but is it wise to go lower with springs alone? Will this damage the dampers? I wish to lower the rear end 50-60mm. Would it be better to by coilovers instead? I've seen brands such as apexi, tein, koni. What do you guys think and what brand is best?

Thanx!

Got these new rims recently, alessio vittoria 18s. I think someone was asking if anyone had them on their IS, what do you think? :D
